Georgia must break an unfortunate trend to advance in the playoff this season.
Georgia football is entering the College Football Playoff as one of the hottest teams in the country. The Bulldogs are 12-1 and just rattled of nine straight victories en route to their second straight SEC Championship. This was good enough to earn them the 3-seed in the CFP and a coveted first round bye.
Everyone wants to earn a top four seed and first round bye because that means they have to win one less game to win a national title.
